![]() Introduced to the public in 2003, this original lens was very popular with the wildlife photography community. This Nikkor 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 is an offshoot of the Nikon's AF-S Nikkor 200-400mm f/4G ED VR which has been on dealer shelves for quite a while. There is a lock for the converter and the memory set button is located here. As shown here, the lever is up in the normal (1X) position, flipping it down places it into the 1.4X position. ![]() You have to admit Nikon did a good job in designing this lens with the 1.4X teleconverter in place. Read what I think in this Nikkor 180-400mm f/4 TC1.4 review. I've been shooting with the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 180-400mm f/4E TC1.4 FL ED VR over the past year or so and have a few things to say about this enormous, highly specialized lens. On the downside, it’s heavy-nearly eight pounds-and it sure ain’t cheap. The lens is constructed of lightweight magnesium alloy, and is sealed against moisture and dust, so it's durable. The Vibration Reduction (VR) system features both Normal and Sports modes and is designed to deliver up to four stops of compensation for sharp, handheld results even under less than ideal lighting conditions. The lens also has an enhanced AF tracking algorithm to increase autofocus performance when following fast-moving subjects. The Nikkor 180-400mm f/4 features an electromagnetic diaphragm that’s tailored to high-speed burst shooting with consistent exposures. Perhaps best of all for sports and wildlife shooters, this super telephoto boasts a constant f/4 maximum aperture for isolating a subject from the background even at long range in low light. Take note of the substantial strap bracket and the hefty knob for the rotating tripod support.
